The voices of children

Listening to the voices of children in matters that affect them is a theme that has followed Robert Benjamin KC throughout his career.

As a solicitor, mediator, Justice of the Family Court, Commissioner and now Child Safety Reform Implementation Monitor, Robert has a long history of taking care of children through the law:

"...to try and understand problems, and focus - instead of the head-to-head which is the nature of adversarial litigation - on more of a standing side by side and saying how do we make this better."

Robert recently spoke about his work with barrister Giles Stapleton, as part of the legal podcast, 'X-Examination'.
